0709.60.40.87 - Orange

This HTS classification, 0709.60.40.87, specifically covers "Orange" sweet bell-type peppers within the broader category of "Other" sweet bell-type peppers. This subcategory is for sweet bell peppers that do not fall into the specific color classifications of green, red, or yellow. Therefore, it encompasses sweet bell peppers that may be a different color entirely, such as orange, or those that exhibit a mixture of colors not fitting the primary designated categories.

The distinction from sibling categories lies solely in the color characteristic. HTS 0709.60.40.78 is for green sweet bell peppers, 0709.60.40.81 for red, and 0709.60.40.84 for yellow. This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for sweet bell peppers whose predominant color is not green, red, or yellow, with orange being a prime example. The classification is based on the apparent color of the pepper at the time of importation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this code relies on the absence of the specific color attributes defined in the preceding sibling categories and the determination that the product is indeed a sweet bell-type pepper of the genus Capsicum.
